Circles UBI · interactive mechanism simulation

Everyone mints their own personal currency at a fixed rate. Trust edges make it spendable through transitive paths to merchants — who either recirculate it locally or cash it out to fiat. Edit the parameters and watch the flywheel change.

Controls

Illustrative simulation. Defaults mirror the researched Circles UBI mechanism (1 CRC/hr personal minting, ~7% annual demurrage, ~90% fiat leakage observed in Berlin vs. ~15% in Bali), but the visual network, timing, and amounts are randomized for visualization — not live onchain data. Drag the sliders or try the scenario presets to see how circulation responds. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
